young son employed in an office.
Going one day to his affairs he loi-
tered, as boys will do, at a second
hand book store, kept byan old jew,
There he saw a queer old wooden
backed book with clasps. He opened
it, aud there on the fly leaf saw the
name OF his grandfather. 1t was an
old Dutch Bible. The boy ran home
and told his father, who fastened to

her father, and it was easy TO see
that the signatures sere identical.
This was truly strange, but wait.

"As they were examining the old
Bible letter fell out. Ii was dated
1910. 1t proved to be the long miss
ing letter. The mystery was easily
solved. The old man had put the
letter in the Bible that Saturday
evening. The Bible was in Dutch (;
the children had been brought up to
speak English. Thus it was kept
clasped as relic, but never used.
But how had il come TO Quebec?
The minister fastened to the jew to
inquire. The old man told him that
after the war he aud his brother
went over the battlefelds buying
debris. In the cellar OF the burned
house, among the ruins, he had found
this Bible, and had brought 1t to
Quebec.
"Oi course, l was Immediately
communicated with. The letter
proved that the two names, although
spelled diiferentley, were identical.
But, unfortunately, a law passed In
Holland in 1852 debarrcd the claim.
III told this story once to a minis.
ter who preached a sermon, using II
to prove that people should open
their Bibles more frequently. The
fact that il was Dutch Bible need
not be insisted on to spoil the moral.

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAI.-SUNDAY. JULY II, 1887:

so long and so well. vi course, q
great many have gone down under
the pressure; but that many have
not is ample evidence to me that un-
der proper financial circumstances
there is money to be made pla ting
in Louisiana and Mississippi. In
fact, my trips through those States
showed me conclusively that wher-
ever man had sufficient capital he
has made money. The capitalists
down there have at last begun to
see that they were standing in their
light. Companies Of capitalists are
forming throughout the Mississippi
Valley for the purpose OF placing
money to the planters for III per
cent. at FIVE years run.
Again, the planters are beginning
to realize that planting operations
cannot b6 carried on vigorously.
Labor and capital amount to a good
deal, but not to much unless they
receive personal attention. This
the planters are seeing, and are Civ
ing more of their own time to the
work.
AS to the diversity of crops in
the two States, think that question
is working itself out OF its own ac-
cord and receiving as much atten-
ton as it demands. Staples always
will be staples in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, as elsewhere, but | found a
good deal OF diversity. | met with
few instances where the planter told
me that he had to buy additional
feed for his teams, and even very
few where the West was relied upon
for bacon.
AS to the labor, l found that it
had changed great deal in the last
eight or ten years; it has grown more
steady and reliable. Indeed, in the
colored race, / think the South has
the best possible kind Of labor. |
saw no tendency among them to Or
ganize against the planters; which is
a very good thing for them, as the
planters would certainly organize on
their part.
Finally, l may say, in a general
way and as an expression OF The oh
servatilns | made, that with sufh-
cient capital and good attention a
cotton or sugar planter in Missis-
sippi or Louisiana ought to easily
make Is per cent profit on his capital
invested. This is about twice what
he would receive on real estate in
vestments in the cities; aud in add
ton to this, what is rarely taken
into consideration, he makes his
living"
Mr.. Grabowsky would up with an
eloquent tribute to the hospitality
and cordially which he saw wher-
ever he went, and dwelt upon the ad
mirable social qualities Of the South
ern planter.
